Rotational training structures and national employment in public health education: an organizational perspective.

Introduction: Postgraduate medical education (PGME) relies on structured training rotations and workplace-based learning (WBL) to provide comprehensive clinical training and professional development. Emphasizing WBL, PGME integrates theoretical knowledge with practical skills through direct patient care involvement, underscoring the pivotal role of training institutes in supporting these initiatives. While curricular changes in PGME have been extensively studied in clinical teaching hospitals, PGME programs in public health (PGME-PH) remain underexplored, yet their multidisciplinary nature post-COVID-19 underscores the urgency for effective curricular reforms.

[Resident and supervisor perception of learning climate in public health resident training in the Netherlands].

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the perceived quality of the learning climate by public health residents in the Netherlands and compare residents' and supervisors' perceptions.

Methods: Residents of five public health subfields, who started their residency programs in 2019 and onwards, as well as supervisors involved in the residency program, were invited to complete a web-based survey based on an adapted version of the D‑RECT questionnaire. Answers of residents and supervisors of the same training site and public health subfield were matched to compare perceived quality of the learning climate.

Developmental origins of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a case control study comparing birth weight in women with PCOS and control group.

Evidence from various epidemiological studies and experimental animal studies has linked adverse intrauterine circumstances with health problems in adult life. This field of investigation is known as Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD). Studies investigating the relation between developing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in adulthood and birth weight have yielded inconsistent results: PCOS is described more often in women with low birth weight and high birth weight, while other studies have failed to establish any relation.
